Review
Most portrait photographers pick the simple path. They choose a ‘neutral’
background, with standard ‘neutral’ lighting and photograph a
‘neutral’ subject. It’s all very safe and very commercial. And in most
cases it’s all very ordinary! Now comes a new book by Oscar Lozoya, ‘Fine Art Portrait Photography’, that breaks the
concept of ‘neutral’ in every aspect. The path this photographer takes seems
much more difficult for all his images are ‘low key’ B&W pictures of
subjects that are riveting. ‘Low key’ B&W photography is a challenge for
most all image makers, but Oscar, using simple backgrounds, brilliant subjects and
outstanding light control, has mastered this style. And best of all, he gives the reader a
detailed narrative and how to instruction on each of his images. Oscar’s writing
style and photographic technique makes the extraordinary seem ordinary.
This is a collection of over 50 of his fine art portraits, some of which I found
disturbing, while others made me smile. Now think of that, when was the last time you
viewed such well crafted images that they made you have such a mix of feelings? His work
ranges from the whimsical to the surreal and blends subjects from Mexican folklore to
dramatic promotional images. His portraits all have an attitude! If your looking for
images with style, content and exciting execution this book is for you! Don’t miss
the inspiration of ‘Fine Art Portrait Photography’
by Oscar Lozoya. |
